Noticed a close hash just before lunch and picked up a friend to check this whole thing out.

Expedition

I stumbled upon Geo Hashing on Monday morning and noticed my graticule (had no information posted. "Ripe for the taking," I thought. Of course, I had break out the old TomTom, download a few iPhone apps, and figure out a general game plan. I noticed Friday right before lunch that the has wasn't too far, so what better time than now to check it out. I convinced a friend who had never heard of this weirdness to come along. Reached the first turnoff in about five minutes and wouldn't you know it, there was no such road as shown on Google Maps? Made a couple U-turns and headed down a ranch road that might have gotten close but alas, a padlocked gate barred the way. Well, it was an easy first try anyway.
